Ricardo Lavenham e a Compatibilidade entre a Presciência Divina e a Contingência dos Eventos Futuros

Abstract

In the Tractatus de eventu futurorum translated here, Ricardo Lavenham sets out and evaluates some of the most influential conceptions in the fourteenth century on the relationship between divine foreknowledge and the contingency of future events. He argues and concludes that God knows future contingents, making use of the Ockhamian thesis according to which there are contingent propositions about the past that concern the future.
